William Bell - A Tribute To A King lyrics
rate meListen, people, listen<br />
I'm gonna sing you a song<br />
About a man who lived good<br />
But didn't live too long<br />
<br />
He was born in Macon, Georgia<br />
A poor boy without a dime<br />
He found his way to Memphis<br />
Singing These Arms Of Mine<br />
<br />
(CHORUS)<br />
Otis, Otis Redding was his name<br />
Without his soulful singing<br />
This old world won't be the same<br />
<br />
Now he traveled on to Frisco<br />
New York and abroad<br />
Everywhere he sang<br />
The people would applaud<br />
<br />
One day he left Georgia<br />
Wisconsin bound<br />
But he didn't get to sing that night<br />
The plane he was in went down<br />
<br />
(CHORUS)<br />
<br />
He was a soul music singer<br />
The king of the Memphis sound<br />
It makes me feel so sad<br />
Cause now he ain't around<br />
<br />
He died with his guitar<br />
Close to his hands<br />
But his soul lives on today<br />
In the heart of a million fans<br />
<br />
Talking about<br />
(CHORUS)<br />
<br />
Otis, Otis Redding was his name<br />
His picture oughta be hung<br />
In the music hall of fame<br />
<br />
Otis, he was known as Big O<br />
Otis, we gonna miss him so<br />
Otis, ooh, yeah, <br />
We gonna miss him so
